Kirkland & Ellis application form is crazy! I would like to apply but they require you to write a total of 1600 words

I just submitted my application for DLA Piper. I know that the WG does not get immediately sent and takes up to ten days to come. Does anyone know if my application will still stand as the WG might be set to come through after the application deadline (30th December)? Can I do the WG test after the deadline?

Wait do you have to do the Watson Glaser before the deadline.

I don't know- that's what is confusing me rn. I assume not but I was just wondering if anyone knew?

Grad rec confirmed that the WG does NOT have to completed by the application deadline!
Once you have received the WG you get a separat deadline of 7 days.
WGs are always sent out on a Friday.

Actually their culture put me off, not the application form lol that was just an extra reason why not!

Assuming you can qualify in the firm after the TC

I know this is probably a joke... but which firm a person decides to apply is their choice so let's not start telling people what they deserve or don't deserve!

Thank you!!!!

This is for their vac scheme, I got the invite today since I went to their Open Day so you get fast-tracked (which is very nice as I’ve only had rejections from my other choices so far)

Amazing to hear! Absolutely well done friend!

May I ask you how many days you have to complete the Watson Glaser test for Baker McKenzie after receiving the link from them?

The email says "Due to the festive holidays, you will have 12 days to complete the test, which starts when the test has been sent."
Hoping they send it soon though, I'm still waiting!

Hopefully no one is checking the forum today, but if you are - Merry Christmas/Happy holidays
